I am trying to use the HVX to convert analogue signals from a vcr to digital using the HVX. I have read the manual and Barry's book, and followed the instructions, but I cannot seem to get it working. I am using a mac, and final cut pro. I plugged in the 3 cables from the vcr (video x1 and...

Is there a way to unnest a sequence in FCP?

I have 24 bit audio tracks that I am using in FCP. They do not seem to be converted, but they are listed in FCP as being 16 bit. Can you use 24 bit audio in FCP?

Any idea if the old battery Panasonic CGR-D16 is usable with the HVX200?

Does "V Detail Level" work the same way as Detail? I mean, does it do no unsharpening at -7, increase noise as it shapens, and can be added in post?

Is there any way to get all the metadata that is recorded on the HVX200 into FCP?

I shot at 2 fps, but acquired over 60p. Is there any way to extract only the unique frames, like when you acquire at 24PN, to make a fast motion sequence? I used "Modify/Speed...", and it seems to work, but is there a cleaner way?

I was wondering what was the proper setup for FCP when using 720/24PN (from P2 cards) and 480/24PA (from tape).

I have found that I am getting choppy footage for fast moving subjects. I tried changing the shutter speed, frame rate (in the scene file), and rec format. I have tried various combinations, and the one I've settled on is 1/24, 1/24, and 720/24PN. It makes sense to me, and seems to look as...

Is it possible to use a mac to do direct recording (ie 'backup recording' in the manual) in Final Cut Pro?

I noticed that 1080p recording has much more noise than 1080i. Why is this?

I just bought an HVX200, and love it. I do have a problem, though. I cannot seem to get the auto focus to work properly. Before I bring it back for a new one, I was wondering if it was just a setting thing. I am using 720/24PN. Also, has there been autofocus issues with the HVX?

Does the HVX 200 record in true 16:9 on DV tape, or is it squeeze (not from letterbox but from the native 16:9), ior is it like the DVX100 (4:3)?
